dubne wale ko tinke ka sahaara hai bahut
raat tarik sahi ek sitara hai bahut

dard uthta hai jigar mein kisi tufan ki tarah
tab teri yaadon ke daman ka kinara hai bahut

zulm jis ne kiye wo shakhs bana hai munsif
zulm par zulm ne mazlum ko mara hai bahut

rah dushwar hai pag pag pe hain kante lekin
rah-rau ke liye manzil ka ishaara hai bahut

us ko pane ki tamanna hi rahi jiwan bhar
dur se hum ne masarrat ko nihaara hai bahut

fasle badhte gae umr bhi dhalti hi gai
wasl ka khwab liye waqt guzara hai bahut

hont khamosh the ek aah bhi hum bhar na sake
barha dil ne magar tum ko pukara hai bahut

jhuti tarif se lagta hai bahut dar 'mona'
mithi baaton ne hi shishe mein utara hai bahut
